Twisted

About This Class

This energizing flow class centers on spinal rotation and core stability, using Ujjayi breath and conscious pelvic-floor engagement as the thread running through every pose. Steve opens with seated breathing drills that teach students to use the deep core as a support system for twisting, then moves into a progressive standing sequence: Downward Dog, Plank, Crescent Pose with elbow-to-knee twists, Warrior Two, Twisted Triangle variations, and Warrior One with bound and open twists. Throughout, cues to "firm outer hips, inner thighs, and tone the belly" keep the pelvis stable so the thoracic spine can rotate freely. The mid-section includes a forward-fold standing balance and lateral side-body stretching in Triangle. The class descends to the floor for Locust, Cobra, and Upward Facing Dog backbends before finishing with supine twists, a supine hamstring stretch, Bridge Pose, and Savasana. The overall arc builds heat and complexity, then systematically unwinds the spine — making it ideal for anyone seeking to improve rotational mobility, core strength, and spinal health.
